A few minutes captured at Non-Invasive Archaeology Training School in Pecs which took place in June 2013 in Pecs, Hungary. The film contains only aerial photography lessons for teams 3 & 4. Enjoy! http://www.archaeolandscapes.eu/index.php/aportaciones/workshops/260.html?lang=es&device=desktop

Extracting and analysing pollen from peat cores taken at Bradford Kaims ancient Wetland in Northumberland UK. Volunteers from the Bradford Kaims Wetland Heritage Research Project went up to Stirling University to have a go at extracting pollen from the peat cores, under the supervision of Professor Richard Tipping and his assistant Danny Paterson.

This video showcases the work being done at North Carolina State University in collaboration with Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky. Here, we present Light Detection and Ranging Data (LiDAR) recorded at the Park. The discrete return points are shown along with surfaces that were interpolated from those points. Initial processing was done by Dr. Nicholas Skowronski (NPS). Post-processing and video creation was done by John Wall.

Maurizio Forte combines traditional archaeological techniques with new technologies to investigate — and visualize — ancient civilizations. Forte arrived at Duke in January as the William and Sue Gross Professor of Classical Studies. Learn more at https://today.duke.edu/2013/03/mauriz….

Best viewed in High Definition. Panther Cave, named after the giant panther at the far end of the site, contains Pecos River and Red Linear style pictographic imagery dating back approximately 4,000 years. Figures range in size from less than 6 inches (~10 cm) to over 10 feet (~3 m) in height. The larger Pecos River style figures are the most prominent, and include colorful human- and animal-like figures. The portion of the shelter shown in this model is approximately […]

http://www.moderncavepaintings.com – Quail Creek is in Petroglyph Canyon, located in a shaded narrow slickrock canyon. Among the glyphs are several figures with burden baskets. Near the south entrance station is a possible solstice site. In the higher Kolob Terrace region is the site type for the Cave Valley style, a large sandstone cave with dozens of pictographs, some superimposed, in a variety of colors. They date from archaic to Paiute. On the return, the group will see the Quail Creek […]

Bulgaria has several little known archaeological sites that potentially hold the answers to key questions about the foundation of western civilisation. Dr Shawn Ross of UNSW’s Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences led a field trip for the Tundzha Regional Archaelogical Project. With a group of students accompanying him, Mapping the Layers of Life is great example of the research/teaching nexus in action. More info on this project, including the revolutionary digital processes used to share and analyse data: http://humanities.arts.unsw.edu.au/news-and-events/archaeology-goes-digital-1…

Archaeologists may not need to get their hands so dirty any more, thanks to the kind of digital technology being pioneered at Southampton University. Its ‘µ-VIS Centre for Computed Tomography’ possesses the largest, high energy scanner of its kind in Europe: a ‘micro-CT’ machine manufactured by Nikon. Capable of resolutions better than 0.1mm – the diameter of a human hair – it allows archaeologists to carefully examine material while still encased in soil.

As technology moves forward, new methods of capturing, presenting and storing valuable rock art data has become available. The University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) together with the African Conservation Trust (ACT) are using state-of-the-art technology to create the first digitized archive of every known San rock art site in the Drakensberg mountain range. This is done using digital photography, 360° digital video, GPS plotting of each site, GIS mapping and 3D laser scanning. All known sites (some not visited since the […]

his is the ruin of a lodge built in around 1432, overlooking the River Wensum and the main road into Norwich at the time. It is surrounded by trees so required careful flying.I will go back in the summer as it looks very different then!
